Don't know that it needs a follow-up. The rules say all positions get the same points for everything (other than ppr, of course):
Chances are it won't be a big deal but just case you didn't notice - both Ks with the same bye.
Sounds like it counts. Almost makes having Hill a must, as he could be a total championship winner here. Even if he goes in for a series or two or gets goalline work (Maybe a Saints fan can chime in, but do you think he will be used in the same way as he was with Payton?).
Thanks. But like HOW small haha. 1% ? 5%?
haha ok ok fine. Thought you'd have a % guess.
I like it for the most part, but I would really get 3 kickers and 3 defenses. You don't need to spend 5 bucks on a kicker, use that $10 kicker money and get $3 $3 $4.
I think it doesn't matter since I won't sniff first place!
Made some tweaks since posting this, but I'm intrigued by your suggestion. The changes give me two potential RB1s and Harris could provide some flex appeal. The other two are end-game type players whose role SHOULD grow throughout the season but could have early and/or mid-season value.
2 K and 2 D is going to kill you imo.
I see your point on K and DST. Might look into that. I'm not comfortable slimming down my WR pool any more, but there's still a few weeks to change my mind....and I probably will.
I'd be curious to see how 3D/3K rosters fare over 2/2 in past years. I could see the value in a third K for the reason you posted, but a 3rd D seems like overkill as there's no injury concern there.
I like 3 D because 2 times in a the year you're relying literally on 1 defense. If that defense has a dud 0 week, pretty much ANY other d you have is going to get you a free 5+ points. JMO.
Why? Because you included the food bank thing? I'm not sure I understand why your expectation is that participation will spike this year....?
Makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Yeah he will likely be among if not the highest % owned player at least among the shark pool. $10 for a possible starting rb with a good bye week is a no brainer.
That was my thinking the day the contest went live, but the more I see "He's going to concentrate on TE", the more doubts I have. I suppose if Winston has a major injury Hill is suddenly gold, but otherwise am I better spending that money on someone like Pickens or Josh Palmer? Either one seems more likely to have a big game than the NO 2nd string TE.
I’ve toggled him in and out of my lineup weighing the same stuff. Luckily I won’t be changing my lineup anym lol
You already changed it, huh?
Way back on page 1 of this thread I broke down my roster that finished 13th overall to help pass along my thought process pre-contest lock last year and I am pretty positive that not having a 3rd Defence cost me a chance to finish in the money as I think I was like less than 3 points from getting in the top 10, here is what I had posted:
Using last year's thread as an example, 67 entrants posted something prior to the contest closing. By the end of week 1, another 40 had posted (I guess I would call these folks the lurkers). Over the entirety of the contest, the thread had 138 posters.
So likely <=1% post their rosters here.
Yes, the 2020 contest had 67 entries vying for the extra $100 and lifetime subscription. Here is a link to the 2020 contest if anyone wants it...

Yes, very few post their rosters, for various reasons:
I would love to roster a TE who plays QB, but I think @apalmer has a point. The Saints just signed Jameis Winston to a 2 year, $28M contract, and they brought in veteran Andy Dalton to back him up. Sure, Andy may be old, but guess what? So is Taysom Hill. Andy is 34, but Taysom turns 32 in 4 days. The first question we should be asking is, if Winston goes down with injury, who fills his shoes? Is it going to be the Dalton? Or maybe last year's 4th round pick, Ian Book? Or perhaps newly acquired KJ Costello? Or is it Taysom?
I can see your point but he is much more than a backup TE, he will get backfield carries, at the end of the LOS, be out wide, get reverses and jet sweeps, and can pull up an throw as needed. He is being talked about as a gadget/super utility player and given the way the NFL seems to be going it wouldn't surprise me he gets a lot of snaps in various situations. I doubt they only line him up at TE when he carries a Contract cost of $10M to just be a backup TE.
And of those say 250 who visit this year in a year, how many actually will read a random post about someone's roster, look it over in depth, and see someone they never thought of? I think people mainly don't post because they think someone will copy them, but I think this happens so little, and if someone does and wins it, then you're likely top 10 and still pretty happy. Share away!
You've talked me into taking a longer look here. I pretty much decided against him when I felt confident he was no higher than 3rd on the QB depth chart, and Adam Trautman emerged. Perhaps he has another year as the Human Swiss Army Knife.
So true! I have always enjoyed sharing strategies here. Typically, I won't criticize choice of players when someone posts a roster - I look more for basic strategy:
love this. Would be great if someone in here won it.
In your opinion, how secure is Brissett's job for the first 11 weeks?
That's a good question. Who else do they even have?
Currently it's Josh Dobbs and Josh Rosen
